I agree with ur prev post that IE 7.0 is s#it, but dont u think u r goin too far in just trying to prove ur point... Any given day, I'll prefer IE6 + XP SP2 to ur Fancy Firefox.

Buddy, I still worship Microsoft. I still believe it's the greatest software company in the world. I still wanna work on Microsoft technologies. I'm still loyal to Microsoft Corp.

I didn't try to prove any point in this post. Just that it's surprising that Hotmail is/was failing to load properly in IE.

I would still choose IE over FF anyday. But I love the freedom of choice. I love Microsoft learning some vital lessons from the open source community.

IE 7 has learnt many vital lessons from FF. So use FF or not, you've got to be thankful to the Mozilla community for helping IE measure up!

A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men.

The year that was

I'm wearing a rather striking shirt, one that makes me feel like a clown fooling around in a graveyard. Roving eyes latch on to me and make me too conscious of myself. Checkered in red, grey, black and maroon, I've excused myself into donning it and looking silly for two reasons. It's Friday and…more importantly, the last working day of the year. Tailored half-a-year back, I never had the courage to wear it, not until today. It's that time of the year when it's time to reflect on the events that transpired. Last year ended on the worst possible note. Dad had expired and I was numb with shock. The repercussions rippled halfway thought this year. Things were so abysmal initially that I had lost the will to live. Acrid in everything I did, I was immensely angered by time phlegmatically flowing through its cadence. It was as if Dad meant nothing to anybody. What right did people have to live the way they always had when Dad was no more? Why was much of the world still
